Getting to Know You: What Was Your First Job?

Yesterday, Joanna asked what we don't like about our jobs. It was so interesting to hear what you all had to say! But now, I'm curious to find out how you got your start in the working world. What was your first job? Mine was…

A sales girl at Claire's! I was just 16 and when I first started, I thought it was the coolest job ever. Plus a lot of my friends worked in the same mall and we'd meet at the food court during breaks. However, things went south when I had to start piercing ears. I always felt a bit queasy when I had to bust out that piercing gun. But I certainly learned a lot; I ended up working retail all through college!

What was your first job? Were you nervous on your first day? What was your favorite part of your first job? Mine was the sweet discount—all of my already cheap blingy prom jewelry was 50% off!
